Question:

How to I make a male thread on a piece of plastic tubing?

My plan is to use a torch to heat a bronze 3/4 female thread and twist it into the plastic male piece, making a 3/4 male thread. The picture shows a 1/2 female bronze piece, but I plan to use a 3/4.Please help!

Answer:

go to the big box hardware and buy the correct adapter your plan to thread PVC pipe will weaken the pipe and can cause a leak or blow the end off the pipe at the worst possible 3am sleeping time == the correct adapter only costs less than one dollar ...
They actually make threaders designed to go on plastic piping.
